A man, tho' weak, of pious, blameless life,

Foil'd by his friends, and governed by his wife;

The last a foible

you may often see

In other folks besides him, you, or me.

Eaton and Cambridge each a College owe

TO HENRY'S bounty.*

Unless it were himself,

Of no man the foe,

He deemed each woe

He suffered here, correction kindly sent
From Heaven, in lieu of future punishment,
A gracious earnest given to insure

Him bliss, where bliss can only long endure.†

* Queen Margaret founded Queen's College, Cambridge; Archbishop Chicheley, All Souls and Bernard's College, Oxon; and Wainfleet, Bishop of Winchester, founded Magdalen College there.

To a Ruffian who struck him in the face, while prisoner, he only said, " Forsooth you do wrong to strike your anointed King;" and when some ladies appeared at a masque with their necks apparelled too much like our modern fashion, he exclaimed with characteristic simplicity, "Fie, fie, for shame-in sooth you are to blame."
